My very frugal 64 year old mother would like to get a computer. She will use it for internet only. What brand do you recommend and what basic system requirements should last her a few years without having to upgrade? Are most new systems upgradeable?

I've found out that older people do well with a pre mellinum
computer. (ie: Win95, Win98, WinME) You can pick one up for
$100.00 0r less. That will get them going and you can see how
computer smart they are and go from there. Most don't like change and they'll probably stick with it.

A mac.
it is safe and easy to use and easy to upgrade.
hackers rarely attack macs because they already have antivirus programs running in the background.
